Abstract
Recent advances in molecular biology techniques have permitted the site specific insertion of predetermined mutations into embryos for the investigation of normal and abnormal development. Currently, there are several imaging modalities available to observe the expression of genetic mutations including light, confocal, and electron microscopy, but these typically require small, transparent, or fixed specimens. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) offers the ability to image in vivo developing morphology in many of the animal models used for genetic studies. In addition, OCT has the potential to rapidly and repeatedly acquire optical histology to assess development and to identify the expression of normal and abnormal genes.
